In addition to having a marabou tail is it correct that a Bugger have a heavily webbed palmer hackle?
I've noticed a lot of Buggers with dry fly quality hackles making them look like Wooly Worms with marabou tails. Please update me. Thanks.

I thought the only rule was do what you think the fish will like. Unless, you are going into the fly tying competition business like HRH.

Mrs. Betty Hiner, Her Royal Highness, not sure who tagged her with that but it was around before I arrived here. Betty recently won a tying competition at the Cabelas in KC area.

Oh. Didn't know about that (HRH thingee).
It's kind of funny how webby or soft saddle hackle used to be so easy to get. Most saddle hackle today is almost dry fly quality.

I like using hen and use a size 14 streamer hook. I have found that hen neck will give you longer hackle than hen back.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
